Couscous is made of rolled semolina, and it’s a type of pasta. It has zero fat, but a solid amount of calories, so it’s perfect for weight loss, or maintaining your weight. The Easy Mediterranean Spring couscous is more flavorful than the basic couscous. It can be served as a side dish with grilled or roasted vegetables, turkey patties, fish patties or meatballs, salmon, chicken, or anything really. It is a delicious way to add some diversity to your side dishes.
